Product Description

The KONI 8641-1497SPORT Front Sport Shock is a performance-oriented shock absorber designed to upgrade the front suspension of the 2006-2011 Honda Civic (FWD). Part of KONI's Sport series, this front strut insert delivers sharper handling, reduced body roll, and enhanced road feedback compared to standard dampers. Its distinctive yellow finish and adjustable rebound knob allow enthusiasts to dial in damping characteristics to suit their driving style and conditions, whether on spirited street runs or occasional track outings.

This Sport shock is compatible with a wide range of Civic trims including DX, EX, EX-L, GX, Hybrid, Hybrid-L, LX, LX-S, and Si models. Because it's a direct-fit strut insert, installation typically reuses much of the original suspension housing, though professional installation is recommended. The adjustable design and gas-charged construction provide a balance of performance and ride quality, and it pairs well with performance lowering springs up to approximately 35 mm drop for even tighter handling.
